About Us

Operation Lifeshield was founded by American-Israeli businessmen Mr. Shep Alster and Mr. Josh Adler. They were visiting the Galilee region of Northern Israel at the time of the Second Lebanon War in 2006, and found themselves among thousands of residents in immediate danger of Hezbollah rocket fire, and with no place to seek shelter.

The 60+ shelters currently deployed have been donated by caring individuals and organizations from around the world, including Jewish and Christian groups. Our Mission Operation Lifeshield in an emergency campaign to save innocent lives by providing Israel’s threatened communities with the protected air raid shelters they so desperately need.
